Will try to take a crack at this. Two underlying principles I think will drive the Vision pro are:
1. The need to live vicariously / voyeuristically: it’s possible for me to at least a two-sense experience of sky diving, bungee jumping, F1 / motor cross racing, and many others, including some darker more voyeuristic experiences like sex with someone out of my league, or unfortunately even extremes like murder / suicide. While the extremes are bad, there’s a lot of market for meeting desires in the middle.
2. Current efforts that have physics limitations: I’d like to make my multi-monitor setup on to a couch or car or plane, or even just have more monitors at my desk than my desk allows. I’d like a bigger TV in my small room. These things I want are big, expensive, and limited by physics and money, and the Vision makes them available to me.
So these two things are the killer apps for me - experiences which I would otherwise not have access to, and the removal of physics burdens in my daily work setup.
- coffeebeqn 3y agoWe are quite far from producing that kind of video at scale. The current 360 degree videos are horrible quality fishbowl looking experiences.
- sudhirj 3y agoBut the Vision stereo cameras might be able to pull it off. Not necessarily in 360 (though Apple was showcasing some environments there as well), but at least from a single POV, taking viewers along for the ride.
